Page/Page column 102-103, (2010/02/06)
The present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods useful for modulating nuclear receptors activity in cells, and for treating and/or preventing various diseases and conditions mediated by said nuclear receptors, including metabolic or cell proliferative disorders. According to particular aspects, the present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods useful for modulating activities of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) and for treating and/or preventing various diseases and conditions mediated by said nuclear receptors. More specifically, it relates to Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) ligands, which are useful in the modulation of blood glucose levels and in the increase of insulin sensitivity in patients in need thereof. The properties of the compounds and compositions of the invention make these PPAR ligands particularly useful in the treatment of those diseases and conditions including diabetes, atherosclerosis, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, obesity, syndrome X, insulin resistance, hypertension, neuropathy, microvascular diseases (e.g. retinopathy, nephropathy), macrovascular diseases (e.g. myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure) in mammals.
